Adding JIRA Software Projects

Bee supports JIRA Software 6.3 and above. If you are running an older version, you can still add your JIRA Software projects to Bee - you just will not be able to update their rankings or Sprints.

If supported, your JIRA Software project will appear in both the ‘Projects’ and ‘Boards’ sections in the new project window (File > Import New Project > JIRA).

To enable the JIRA Software functionality (sprints, columns, etc.): add your project from within the ‘Boards’ section.

Scrum

When dealing with Scrum boards inside of Bee, you can group your issues by ‘Sprint’ (equivalent to viewing Plan mode).

You can also group by ‘Column’ (equivalent to viewing Work mode).

Kanban

If you are viewing a Kanban board inside of Bee, you can group your issues by ‘Column’ (equivalent to viewing Work mode).

Ranking issues

You can drag to reorder your issues as long as you are sorting issues by ‘Manual Order’.

When you drag and drop to rearrange them, your issue’s rankings are updated just as they would be on the site.
